Raphaela stayed with her brother while he was resting. It had been determined he was attacked by the werewolf that he had been hunting for sometime. Fortunately they had given him the antidote just in time to save him from becoming a werewolf. Their father and uncle Carl went out to look for the creature.
It was times like these she was glad that Michel's wife, Tara was out of town with the twins. Michel had twin girls Alice and Anna. The girls were only 5 years old. The had gone to visit Tara's parents in Florida.
Michel and Raph were pretty close despite the 8 year difference in age. The two got close after their mother left them when the were young. She could not deal with being a monster hunters wife, so she left while their father and Carl were on a mission and the two were at school.
Their mother, a serious Christian woman, wanted to her name her sons after the Arch Angels, since their father was Gabriel. When her mother was pregnant with her, had she been born a boy, the name would have been Raphael.
It was close to midnight when she went up bed. The firehouse had three stories, her father had the first floor, Carl was always in his lab in the basement, where the main armory and gym was (they have a large basement divided into three sections), Michel and his family lived on the second floor and Raph had the whole third floor. Each floor had two to three rooms and one bathroom. She stepped in to her room and was about to change into her PJs when she heard a something outside her window.
She grabbed her gun that she kept by her bed. She pulled open the shutters and found the Ipswich boys on her fire escape.
"You boys are so lucky that I didn't shoot you. Now what in the hell are you doing here?!" she whispered harshly. She lowered her weapon and stepped aside. The boys stepped inside and looked around her room.
It had a sort of Goth look to it. Red painted walls with a black canopy bed. There was a dresser by a closet a bookcase by the doorway and a nightstand with a light and the gun she had set down.
"Want to explain what your doing here?"
Caleb was about to answer when the front door slammed open. Raphaela ran out the room and down the stairs, with the boys behind her.
Gabriel and Carl had return and learned a horrible fact.
"Raph, Mike!"
Mike limped out of the recovery room and Raph rushed to her brothers side and helped him into a chair. Gabriel saw the boys and looked like he was throwing daggers at them.
"What are you doing here?"
"I asked them that same question, but didn't get answer. We'll deal with them later dad. What's wrong? You didn't get the wolf?!" Raph asked worried.
"No, we were about to cure him, but he pleaded we kill him"
"What, why?" Mike chirped in.
"He said he would rather died then live with what he was carrying with"
"Dad, what secret was he carrying?" Mike was on the edge of his seat and leaning on his sister for more support.
"Dracula's back. And he's got some warlock helping him, along with a the devil"
"WHAT! Dracula's back? How can he be back? You've killed him what, 2 or 3 times?! Raph screamed. She began to pant heavily and paced the room.
Caleb and the boys watched the family meeting. His eyes were on Raph as she paced. He could have swore he saw he eyes turn yellow, then turn back the original brown.
"Okay. We are real confused. 1) who the hell are you people? And 2) You can't mean "the" Dracula and Devil." Pogue intercepted
"Okay warlock you want your questions answered? Then sit down and shut up." Raphaela said with anger in her voice.
"The year was 1887, my father was and still is, along with my brother and me, an agent of the Knights of the Holy Order, a group of Monks, Friars, and other religious people was hunt the evil that roam the earth. My father was sent to Transylvania, to help the Valerious kill Dracula………."
When Raphaela finished the story, the boys were silent, till Reid open his mouth
"Yeah right, like your really the "Van Helsing" the guy from Bram Stoker's Dracula"
"How do you think he came up with the idea?" Carl chimed in.
"What was that you called us? Tyler asked.
"She called you Warlock. That's what you are right?" Mike said pointing to his sister, who was stand only inches away.
"How do you know what we are?" asked Pogue.
"Why do you think I came to Harvard? Cardinal Jinette enrolled me so I can keep an eye on boys and determine whether or not you need to be taken care of " Raph answered with attitude.
Tired with how she was treating them, Caleb got right in her face
"You got a problem with us? Let it out!"
"Yeah, I got a problem with all supernatural beings. It is because of them and your kind that my family and I will never have a normal life! Now if you will excuse us," gesturing to her brother "we need to make a few calls. We gonna need all the help we need"
As Raph helped her brother out of his chair and out of the room, Reid joked
"Who's gonna call; the Ghostbusters"
"No, a few old friends." Her father smiled with a faint smile
